Course No.: CQI‑IRCA 2682
This practical workshop‑based course is for those intending to acquire the competencies to audit an organization’s entire Food Safety Management System (FSMS) to meet the requirements of the FSSC 22000 V6.0 scheme, either as a third or second‑party auditor.
The Food Safety System Certification 22000 (FSSC 22000) includes a complete certification scheme for the auditing and certification of a Food Safety Management System (FSMS). The scheme was developed through extensive and open consultation with many global stakeholders and uses international and independent standards such as ISO 22000, ISO 9001, ISO/TS 22003, and technical specifications for sector‑specific Pre‑Requisite Programs (PRPs), such as ISO/TS 22002‑1.
The FSSC scheme covers sectors where a technical specification for sector PRPs has been developed and follows the food chain category description as defined in ISO/TS 22003.
This intensive, challenging, and highly interactive training program is for those who require an in‑depth understanding of the knowledge and skills required to perform second and third‑party audits of an FSMS against FSSC 22000 or ISO 22000. Many of the skills acquired in this course can be applied to auditing other Food Safety Management Systems.
